If the alignment is not correct then iommu_map() will return error. Not
sure what other option we have here (and why make it different behavior
than iommu_map which just return error when it is not aligned properly).
I don't think we want to force any kind of alignment automatically. I
would rather have the API tell me I am doing something wrong than having
the function aligning the values and possibly undermap or overmap.

But sg->offset is an offset into the page (at least it is used that way
in the DMA-API and since you do 'page_len = s->offset + s->length' you
use it the same way).
So when you pass iova + offset the result will no longer be
page-aligned. You should force sg->offset == 0 and sg->length to be
page-aligned instead. This makes more sense because the IOMMU-API works
on (io)-page granularity and not on arbitrary phys-addr ranges like the
DMA-API.

Ok, but I don't think we want to force a specific alignment here (as I
discussed earlier with Will D.). So I would just do something like
	
	iommu_map(domain, iova + offset, phys, s->length, prot);
	offset += s->length;

Yes, I am aware of that. However, several people prefer this than
passing in scatterlist. It is not very convenient to pass a scatterlist
in some use cases. Someone mentioned a use case where they would have to
create a dummy sg list and populate it with the iova just to do an
unmap. I believe we would have to do this also. There is no use for
sglist when unmapping. However, would like to keep separate API from
iommu_unmap() to keep the API function names symmetric (map_sg/unmap_sg).

Keeping it symetric is not more complicated, the caller just needs to
keep the sg-list used for mapping around. I prefer the unmap_sg call to
work in sg-lists too.

So are you looking for something like this then:

int iommu_map_sg(struct iommu_domain *domain, unsigned long iova,
			 struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nents,
			 int prot, unsigned long flags)

int iommu_unmap_sg(struct iommu_domain *domain, unsigned long iova,
			 struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nents,
			 unsigned long flags)

This makes unmapping code more complicated (and slow) though. For
example the way I would implement the fallback would be to iterate
through the sglist first to calculate the total length to unmap and then
call iommu_unmap().

I know we talked about removing the flag argument in the map call.
However, the TLB_NO_INV usage is actually needed for both map and unmap.
We have HW that requires TLB invalidate on MAP and TLB inv. is also
required if you implement your mapping function to support replacing an
existing mapping...

Rob, did you have an issue with this API before or was it just an issue
with not having the iova in the unmap call?

I thought that was why we added the default fallback and set all the
drivers to point to these fallback functions. Several people wanted this
so that we don't have to have NULL-check in these functions (and have
the functions be simple inline functions).

Okay, since you add these call-backs to all drivers I think I can live
with not doing a pointer check here.
